What kind of omega-3 are you buying? Res-Q 1250?The Center for Science in the Public Interest is concerned that the marketing of omega-3 in foods may be misleading. People who see “omega-3” in foods in the grocery isle may think that they are going to reap the heart-healthy rewards of omega-3, when in reality there is so little omega-3 in foods, that you are better off taking a high-quality grade fish oil capsule a day than thinking that you can skip the supplement, because the food contains “omega-3”.
In order to reap the rewards of omega-3, especially the well-known cardiovascular benefits that you hear about on the radio, TV, and in health newsletters, you need EPA and DHA.
Most food labels do not list how much EPA and DHA you are getting. If you are not seeing EPA and DHA on the label, the right type of omega-3 for heart health, then you know that your omega-3 may be worthless. Even if some foods do include omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA, the active omega-3 fatty acids, the amount is so minimal, that is far below what you need for the established health benefits, making it relatively useless from a science standpoint, providing little or no health benefits at all. Just one capsule of Res-Q 1250, our purified and potent omega-3, contains 390-430mg of EPA and 300-325mg of DHA. Food products do not even contain anywhere near this amount of omega-3.
For benefits like reducing those normal and occasional aches and pain or maintaining cholesterol levels that are within the normal range and encouraging healthy triglycerides, research shows that you need 3,000 milligrams of the omega-3 fatty acids “EPA” and “DHA” daily!
